Plate 434. Eichhornia crassipes

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, 2002
The taxonomy, distribution, cultural requirements and uses of the WATER HYACINTH, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pontederiaceae), are discussed; an illustration and a full description of the species are provided.

A thermophilic glucoamylase fromCephalosporium eichhorniae

Current Microbiology, 1978
A novel exocellular glucoamylase produced by a thermophilic fungus,Cephalosporium eichhorniae, was purified by a combination of membrane filtration and Sephadex chromatography. The enzyme was a glycoprotein, 28% carbohydrate by weight. It was composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 26,850.

Aquatic macrophytes and Eichhornia crassipes

1982
Munro (1966) defined the shoreline habitats of Lake McIlwaine in terms of the presence or absence of aquatic macrophytes, and the major species of macrophyte where the plants were present. Relatively few areas of the lake shore were free of macrophytes (Fig.

Effects on Eichhornia crassipes under Zn stress

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Eichhornia crassipes is a macrophyte widely used in phytoremediation, demonstrating a high ability to remove metals from water. The aim of this work was to evaluate its enzymatic detoxification strategies and metal accumulation when it is exposed to different Zn concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 9 ppm) for periods of 24, 48, and 72 h. Zn concentration in

The use of oil emulsions for improving the efficacy of Alternaria eichhorniae as a mycoherbicide for waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

Biological Control, 2005
Abstract The fungus Alternaria eichhorniae isolate #5 (Ae5) is being developed as a mycoherbicide agent for controlling waterhyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ) in Egypt. Inoculum concentrations above 10% (mycelial wet weight) were all equally effective in controlling waterhyacinth at 100% level (weed kill).

Resource recovery of Eichhornia crassipes as oil superabsorbent

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017
The elastic cellulose-based aerogels (CBAs) with highly porous (99.56%) and low-density (0.0065gcm-1) were prepared using Eichhornia crassipes as cellulose source and polyvinyl alcohol directly as cross-linker via a facile and environment-friendly process.

Cyanide phytoremediation by water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes)

Chemosphere, 2007
Although cyanide is highly toxic, it is economically attractive for extracting gold from ore bodies containing only a few grams per 1000 kg. Most of the cyanide used in industrial mining is handled without observable devastating consequences, but in informal, small-scale mining, the use is poorly regulated and the waste treatment is insufficient ...

Evapotranspiration of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

Journal of Hydrology, 1974
Abstract From water balance measurements near the Agricultural Experiment Station at Paramaribo and on the Brokopondo Lake, the evapotranspiration of water hyacinth appeared to be respectively 48% and 44% higher than the free water evaporation. These values are much lower than could be expected based upon values given in the literature.

Phytoremediation of heavy metals by Eichhornia crassipes

The Environmentalist, 2007
Eichhornia crassipes was tested for its ability to bioconcentrate 8 toxic metals (Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) commonly found in wastewater from industries. Young plants of equal size were grown hydroponically and amended with 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mM of each heavy metal individually for 21 days.
